Great Value, Stunning Figures, THE BUILD THOUGH...This set is just the right balance of nostalgic and new designs. I appreciate that we finally have an X-Wing based on the Ralph McQuarrie concept art from the 70's.
I could go on forever about the interesting design choices of this vehicle but what I really want to emphasize is the nature of the build. Building this set surprised me time and time again. The techniques are very different and satisfying. You really can't know how truly fun this is to build until you've done it yourself! whether you are a fan of Star Wars or LEGO in general, this set is so much fun!
The minifigures in this set are unbelievably well printed and the helmets very well sculpted. The inclusion of Poe Dameron and BB-8 is quite a draw and certainly adds to the value of the set a great deal.
PROS:
-THE BUILD
-Amazing minifigures
-Play features are numerous and very fun
-Accessories included are small and subtle but make this feel more like a play-set rather than just a vehicle.
CONS:
-The LEGO group didn't quite get the wings right as many have pointed out. This does not detract from the model however.
-Lots of stickers
CONCLUSION:
This set is beautiful, it has great minifigures and it is so fun to build. This set is great for collectors and kids. The play value is what you'd expect from an X-Wing but that really isn't a negative!

I Can Fly Anything!X-Wings are probably some of the most iconic ships in the Star Wars universe and The Force Awakens continues the legacy of X-Wings although with a few differences.
Lego have done a brilliant job of capturing the new X-Wing design and I love the colour scheme of Poe's X-Wing. The build is fun, interesting and very similar to building an Original Trilogy X-Wing with the biggest differences being the new engine design and wing design. The wing design isn't quite movie accurate, and the cockpit isn't placed exactly right but these are minor issues. Just like any X-Wing the wings can unfold into attack position by turning a piece on the top behind the cockpit. Also behind the cockpit is a space for BB-8 - Poe's loyal and lovable droid. The finished model is very sleek and the included ladder and loader add great playability to this set.
The new minifigures are fantastic! Poe Dameron's minifigure is very movie accurate and the new Resistance pilot helmet is a brilliant design - the visor is now incorporated with the helmet rather than being printed on the minifigure's face. The other two minifigures - the Resistance Ground Crew and Resistance Pilot are both highly detailed. The pieces making up BB-8 are completely new and capture the exact look of the droid.
This is a fantastic model of a slightly re-desgined classic. My only issue is that the rubber bands used to control the opening and closing of the wings are blue which is a strange colour choice. Apart from that minor issue I think this is an awesome set and perfect for all Star Wars fans!

As long as there's light we've got a chance!As soon as I saw The Force Awakens I fell in love with Poe Dameron and I knew I had to have him in LEGO form!! I got this set for my 18th birthday and is currently the largest LEGO Star Wars set I own and it is very impressive, I have always marveled at the X-wing sets and am very glad that I got this one of all the sets released. The set itself is quite large and not always possible to hold in just one hand; especially if you don't want to drop it! Because the model is quite weighty it can be difficult to play with, but that hardly makes a difference as it just kind of adds more realism. I think that compared to Poe's actual X-wing Black One this set is very movie accurate; the black and orange scheme looks perfect, the cockpit looks so cool opening and closing and the guns on each wing are very well designed. BB8 is also a wonderful addition to the set; he can be secured behind the cockpit so he won't fall out even if you try out a couple of spins ;) This set is definitely worth buying for the Poe and BB8 minifigures; Poe is so detailed his flightsuit and helmet look incredible and BB8 is great both in this set and when paired with the Rey's speeder set. The best part of the set is the folding and un-folding of the wings; a cleverly placed winch mechanism lifts the wings up or down with a single twist and they stay in position very firmly. I can't really get used to the new missile functions, but I understand that they are probably entertaining for younger builders as they do fire quite far! Overall I think this set is a triumph, it looks amazing as a display piece and is also so fun to play with. I loved the look and feel of it so much that I took it into the garden to really capture the essence of the model and figures (see pics).
If you love The Force Awakens, if you love Poe Dameron, if you love BB8, if you love Star Wars...then you will love this set.

I can fly anything!X-Wings are the second coolest and most iconic spaceships in the Star Wars universe – after the Millennium Falcon, obviously. I personally wanted this set because both Poe Dameron and his X-Wing are really cool, and I was not disappointed. The finished ship looks great and I love the colour scheme – makes for a nice change from the usual 50 Shades of Grey!
The minifigures that come with this set are fantastic! You get Poe Dameron, another Resistance X-Wing pilot, a Resistance ground crew member called Goss Toowers, and of course BB-8, Poe Dameron's loyal AstroMech droid. The minifigures all have great detailing and look fantastic. I especially love the new helmet visors.
In addition to the ship itself and the minifigures, this set comes with a loader with seating, steering mechanisms and a box with extra ammunition, and a ladder to climb up to the cockpit. I am going to hang my X-Wing from the ceiling, but for display on a table or for play purposes, these accessories are great and really add to the set.
I personally think the ship is accurate enough compared to the film, but I mainly just enjoy building LEGO and I'm not too fussed about the details.
The rubber bands that control the wings are blue because that's the colour these Technic bands are at exactly this tension. I personally don't mind, and I wouldn't want to pay more for LEGO to manufacture bands at this tension in black just for this set.
Pros:
- The finished ship looks fantastic!
- Great minifigures, both the selection you get and their individual detailing
- The loader and ladder
- Fun play features
Cons:
- The four engines on the back aren't secured 100%
- I wish the landing gear was higher, so that the model could be displayed on a table with the S-foils locked in attack position and fully open
I'd recommend this to all Star Wars Lego fans!
